When playing [[Elsword]], there will be an additional bar below the mana gauge with 10 slots, with 5 blue slots and 5 red slots filled in by default. This '''Way of the Sword''' bar will enable you to toggle between "Aura of Vitality" or "Aura of Destruction" by using the '''V''' key. While in either "Aura of Vitality" or "Aura of Destruction", you will receive special benefits.
When playing [[Elsword]], there will be an additional bar below the mana gauge called '''Way of the Sword'''. This bar has 10 segments that, by default, contain 5 red '''Destruction''' slots and 5 blue '''Vitality''' slots, and depending on your actions, the bar will lean towards one color or 'aura' (left for Destruction, right for Vitality), replacing the other aura's slots. As long as an aura has at least one slot in the bar filled, you will receive special benefits depending on which aura you currently have active. The "Aura of Vitality" is selected by default, and you can switch between it and the "Aura of Destruction" by using the '''V''' key.  


Depending on the type of skill you use, the bar will add additional blue '''Vitality''' slots or red '''Destruction''' slots, overwriting the other mode's slots in their place. Vitality slots fill the bar towards the right, while Destruction slots fill the bar towards the left.
Depending on the type of skill you use, the bar will fill towards the right with blue '''Vitality''' slots or towards the left with red '''Destruction''' slots:
*Flexibility/Tenacity skill: 1 slot
*Flexibility/Tenacity skill: 1 slot
*Strength skill: 2 slots
*Strength skill: 2 slots
*Bravery skill: 3 slots
*Bravery skill: 3 slots
Note that skills fill the slots contrary to their mode: vitality-based skills fill the bars with destruction slots; destruction-based skills fill the bar with vitality slots.

If the bar is filled completely by either mode, the aura for the other mode will deactivate even when it is toggled on until at least 1 slot is gained for that mode.  
If the bar is filled completely by either aura's slots, the aura for the other mode will deactivate and you will enter a neutral stance with no benefits even when it is toggled on, until at least 1 slot is re-gained for that mode. As such, the bar acts as a balancing mechanic so over-using one mode's skills can prevent you from using the opposing Aura.
